Feb 159:52 PM How does Tom Brokaw describe Canadian Identity? Feb 279:26 PM American Melting Pot Assimililation: To make or become a uniform part of a larger group. Canadian Cultural Mosaic
Feb 1510:51 PM In defining a Canadian identity, five key distinctive characteristics have been emphasized: 1. Special emphasis is placed upon the bicultural nature of Canada and the important ways in which EnglishFrench relations have shaped the Canadian experience. 2. Canada had quite a different historical experience in resisting revolution and republicanism compared to the U.S., leading to less individualism and more support for government activism, such as wheat pools and the health care system. 3. British parliamentary system and the British legal system, augmented by the conservatism associated with the Loyalists and the pre1960 French Canadians, have given Canada its ongoing collective obsession with "peace, order and good government". 4. The social structure of multiple ethnic groups that kept their identities and produced a cultural mosaic rather than a melting pot. 5. the influence of geophysical factors (vast area, coldness, northness; St. Lawrence spine) Most Canadians,expect their governments to be actively involved in the economic and social life of the nation.

FOREGROUND BACKGROUND
Feb 209:42 PM Robert Harris, A Meeting of the School Trustees, 1885 Feb 1410:03 PM On an August day in 1885, Prince Edward Island painter Robert Harris paid a call on Kate Henderson, the teacher of the oneroom school at Long Creek, P.E.I. As Miss Henderson told the story of how she had "laid down the law" to the men who sat as school trustees and "talked them over" about her unconventional teaching methods, Harris had the inspiration for his masterpiece, "The Meeting of the School Trustees." Now the painting and the story behind it come to life in a Historica Minute that honours Kate Henderson and the many other rural teachers of Canada's past. Feb 209:02 PM
